Consumables? Yup.
Spare parts? Yup.
Rescuing downed airmen, etc.? Yup.
Drills during patrol? No. Sounds fun on the surface, but come on, it'd be no more than hitting 'C', then 'S'. Hardly a huge, great feature.

You could have a system where conducting various drills on your way to your patrol area (vs. sitting there with the time compression cranked up and reading a novel) has a direct effect on crew performance. For instance, even with a veteran crew, if you run on the surface for days and days without diving once, are they going to do the world's fastest crash dive in an emergency?
Yes, very likely so. Subs were on the surface "for days and days" a lot.
